important update regarding pockets wallet mini kyc users

Hi can we use ICICI pockets virtual debit card for 10% off offer on Flipkart for ICICI debit and credit cards ..will it work?

So we cant avail 50 cashback on adding 3000 offer now ?

Debit card loads aren't eligible for the 2x50 CB offer as max. allowed is Rs2500 which is below the min. Rs 3000 necessary. Netbanking in the past was quite hit and miss as far timings are concerned. Oh well. At least it's not completely blocked. I can continue using multiple nos. for a bit longer. 

I guess a new Pockets app update is in the offing which will mandatorily require SIM re-verification.

You can load via Netbanking. But it's limited to max. of Rs 5000 in a day. So it will take 2 days if all goes well. There's also a hidden total Netbanking transaction threshold perhaps. Upon crossing it while trying to move out money from Wallet via Netbanking the "Host message format" error comes up which is only resolved in the next month. 

But why "Add funds within app" option isn't working for minKYC users?

It didnt work last time i tried (2 months back), it takes it as "prepaid card" and hence doesnt work. 

Not sure if working now.

Don't know about CC but Savings account was necessary years ago. Pockets customer care continue to trip up big time while making the necessary changes. 

I tried add money 3000 using Paytm upi on 27th august, but it didn't get added into wallet and I got refund on 31st aug. Has anyone tried using NEFT option to add money?

I have full kyc pockets with the different number than the number linked with ICICI CC/Sav Acc, now my pockets wallet merged to single number which i have used for CC/Sav.Acc.............
But the main issue is Im unable to login now.......

Giving #49 ERROR......

Complained to CC, they dont have any idea..... Dont know what to do😌

NEFT is no good from cashback POV! Ordinarily Wallet load should be completed within 2-3 minutes of the beginning of every hour at most whereas NEFT can take 30 minutes. Netbanking worked in the past but it's not as fast as UPI obviously due to the SMS OTP requirement.

Standard rbi limit for any full kyc wallet is 1 lakh meaning at any time the balance in a full kyc wallet can never be more than 1 lakh. As for add money limits that depends on bank but most banks don't allow more than 10 lakh in a year I think.

Even with the same number incompetent Pockets customer service hasn't been able to map Pockets account with the ICICI Savings account despite 2 months having elapsed. The Pockets account does show up in the Netbanking site. However after mobile verification Pockets asks to create a new account! Even that ends in an error everytime. 

Edit: Maybe asking CC to delete the account and starting anew is a better idea?

You can use net banking

Update -

Enter amount and select net banking/dc option here are 4 options

1. Net banking
2. Upi
3. Dc
4. Qr

  Here choose upi /qr and you can pay via your upi id instantly and loot add money offer

Thanks to a Pockets bug I discovered that the system wide VPN doesn't actually extend to the Island and is instead restricted to the Mainland only! All these years of using Island and I was completely ignorant of this fact. 

In recent months Pockets throws the error "Unable to connect to server " many times if using Wifi instead of mobile data. It gets resolved sometime later but occasionally it lasts for a day or more. Sometimes it's possible to work around this limitation by using a VPN (not too long ago Pockets used to warn about using a VPN but that seems to be withdrawn in a subsequent update ). But it wasn't working for the 2nd Pockets account installed in Work Profile under Island. That's when I stumbled upon that a VPN app needs to be installed separately in the Work Profile for it to work in case of apps installed in the Island! One can have a VPN active separately in the Mainland & Island simultaneously. 

I also found that LSPosed has an option to separately install modules for apps in Island. I hadn't ever noticed it before.

They say so, but I can see both pockets. Account in imobile. Now fed up calling and mailing to icici customer care. Because they will not solve
